So, I bet some of you are looking for quick, easy, last-minute gifts and ornaments for your trees this season? Well, recently I received an awesome sneak peek of the new look over at CrossStitcher, which I thought I'd share with all of you peeps:
http://gb.zinio.com/reader.jsp?issue=416141017&o=ext
Inside that preview you'll find a cute, free pattern for cross-stitch gingham hearts that look really sweet and easy to make. Also included, (toward the back) are free patterns for a Christmas tree, dove, reindeer, and bird!
Now, the sad part for all of us US peeps is that CrossStitcher is a UK publication (I know - sad - tears!) but at least we can all enjoy this free little preview from our friends across the pond. (Yes, I've been waiting my whole life to use that cliche, I really hope you enjoyed it.) :) But for you UK readers, be sure to snap up an issue - I couldn't believe the number of patterns included in just one issue, and I was impressed by their clear, helpful directions and gorgeous photographs.
Thanks, CrossStitcher, for sharing a preview with us! :)
Edit, 12/16/2010: Thank you so much to everyone who chimed in with places you can find CrossStitcher in the US! :)
You can usually find that publication in Barnes and Noble and Borders here in the US. It is one of the easier ones to find, love it.
ReplyDeleteI buy it at Joann's. I live in North Dakota, so I imagine it's available in more populated places as well.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI live in Alberta, Canada and I can find CrossStitcher in Chapters or Indigo stores for about $11. It tends to be about two issues behind, but it's well worth it.
Yep like the others said you can usually find it in the nicer book stores. I know I can find a few other British Cross Stitch magazines as well!
ReplyDeleteI really like the preview though as there is a bit of a delay as to when the current issue is available stateside. So I can really preview to see if I like the inside patterns :)
I would offer to get you this one but I think it's already gone and the they have the next one already.
Violet, you are so sweet to offer, but I was lucky enough to be sent my own copy! Thank you so so much for offering to send it! :)
ReplyDeleteI know this comment is a little late but you can buy this online (for a fraction of the price!) I intend to buy tomorrow's copy from this site: http://gb.zinio.com/
